The Sharpest Thorn - E-book - ePub

In an alternate-universe gothic-flavoured Greece, one war consumes the mortal world while another brews in the realm of the gods. Civil war rages on the island of Syros, and Psyche impersonates the goddess Aphrodite in order to win support for her father's cause. When the goddess curses her in revenge, she sends her son, Eros, to finish the job. Newly questioning his place and power, he refuses, and whisks Psyche away to an enchanted palace out of Aphrodite's sight. Together, Eros and Psyche build a life of their own in defiance of what is demanded of them, but the secrets they keep from each other threaten their ability to keep it.
Psyche betrays Eros and they are torn apart, but they know now what life they want and what they're capable of doing to get it. Each of them must challenge their families and embrace their darkness if they want to find each other again in the light.
